What is the source of this info?
I would think SECO would have to announce this in advance of implementation, perhaps in the SECO newsletter. They do have an incentive program which you can sign up for if you charge your EV during Super Off Peak hours. (In the newsletter). |

Hi SECO is the source, call them and ask for yourself. Call them if you have an inkling of doubt
Why don't they announce it themselves?, call them and ask them yourself. Good luck with that call as you would effectively be asking why they have poor dissemination of information. Your welcome that I told you. Last edited by Toymeister; 06-14-2023 at 07:15 PM. Reason: Spelling |

Interesting since I do not believe the current meters or metering system would be able to support REAL TIME metering. To do what is being "reported" requires one way (possibly two way) communication to the utility, or meters with accurate TOD clocks and the ability to store all of this information for a monthly reading.
The other item to consider is if Duke and Florida Power actually have similar rates in place for SECO to buy power at the proposed levels to support the proposed rates. If have not seen any announcements from either of these utilities, or associated news article about the very significant changes to rates, ALL of which require approval from Florida government. Just my humble opinion.

Will these new rates require smart meters, why yes, it will. Do new home installs have smart meters already, probably. Will this deployment/retrofit take time, yes it will, probably by subcontractors. Why hasn't your paid elected SECO trustee told you about this?, I have met her and no I wasn't impressed. BTW she isn't a TV resident. Interesting that three TV residents ran against her this spring. I suspect an official announcement will come out with the deployment of smart meters. In the meantime at least I told you about it. Last edited by Toymeister; 06-14-2023 at 09:18 PM. |

Tinker raises a good point. Those of us without “smart” meters with the ability to record/report TOD useage could not be subject to this billing method. Or would we? Maybe by applying a temporary weighted rate equivalent to those with meters until new meters are installed?
